Scenario

When family traditions lose their meaning after loss

Our family has always gathered for holidays around traditions that meant everything to my grandmother but after she died last year we're all going through the motions and nobody wants to say out loud that it doesn't feel sacred anymore. We're pretending to preserve something that feels hollow without her presence holding it together.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

You are maintaining the form of rituals while their spirit has departed with the one who gave them life.
